Gathered with close friends for a special birthday brunch, the description of the "Farmers Breakfast" piqued my interest. As it turns out the description was a loosely related, optimistic version of the final product. My eggs particularly, which were ordered over medium, arrived more runny than a snow cone in the Sahara, which is to say very. After very specific instructions of my expectation for the eggs, the third attempt at eggs over medium were only slightly less runny, or in other words, mostly raw. As a side note, bottomless mimosas sound enticing, except that the languid service makes leveraging this bargain nearly impossible. read more

We had reservations and still waited 45 minutes. Others before us complained of waiting over an hour - on graduation day at a restaurant associated with the college! We arrived early and checked in. At 15 minutes past our time, the hostess said our table would be ready "soon". At 25 minutes, I asked again, and her immediate response was "I'll get the manager". The female manager said she'd check on seating and be right back. At 35 minutes, a male supervisor came out to talk to someone else who had been waiting an hour. The hostess lied to him and said she had told us the was over an hour even with reservations when we arrived. Our party and the other party both vehemently disagreed with her. He promised to get us seated promptly and come back and let us know when that would be. (A little communication would have avoided the whole frustrating experience from the start or resolved if sooner). At 45 minutes with no news from either manager, I complained to the front desk at the Alfond Inn and spoke to the hotel manager on duty, explaining the aforementioned issues. He went to the restaurant, and we were seated immediately. Many, many tables were empty, including all but one table on the patio. There also appeared to be plenty of staff. The waitress was not nice, probably because we complained about the wait. My medium burger came well-done and the fries were undercooked. However, the fries were delicious once I added blue cheese dressing. The bottom of the glass had crusty hard water stains - clean but not polished and not visually appealing. Love Rollins. Did not like my experience at Hamiltons. read more

Wow, Wow & Wow !! This is the best way to describe a gem like Hamilton's Kitchen. We visited for Valentine's dinner after our friends had just gotten engaged in the park. We had recommended The Alfond as the perfect place for a post celebration and were looking forward to dinner to celebrate with them. We were all blown away!! Each dish presented was like a work of art , so beautiful and equally delicious. Loved the vegetarian options also. Chef and staff greeted us upon arrival and were very attentive all evening. Our friends raved all night about what a perfect place to celebrate their engagement and we are already planning a brunch so we can visit again. Certainly, HK is our favorite restaurant ! read more

We tried Hamilton's Kitchen during Magical Dining Month and were very happy with the food. We tried the beet salad and crispy brie with walnuts for appetizer, incredibly tender and savory pork shank with creamy grits and well seasoned gnocchi with juicy chicken for entree and the buttery caramel bread pudding and crisp, tart key lime pie for dessert. Even though we were there for a limited menu offering, it was all delicious and well-executed. However, keep in mind that if you're there for Magical Dining month you might not feel as welcome as on a regular dining night and our service was unexpectedly lacking. Our experience was also tainted by listening to our waiter loudly complain about Magical Dining month with the table next to ours while a lady at that table agreed about how it allows the "riff-raff" to come into the restaurant. I understand that it can be hectic for both the kitchen and the wait staff during this month but I found it very uncharacteristic of a restaurant with Hamilton's reputation to loudly complain about patrons within earshot of other tables. It was unprofessional and left a bad impression. read more

I don't get to WP much....we used to go a lot....now we don't. I think it's a bit pretentious for my lowly self. That being said, my grandfather wanted to go to Hamilton's Kitchen for brunch so we joined him. It was a celebration of sorts so I guess it made sense to eat at a fancy WP restaurant. I will say I was pleasantly surprised, it didn't feel NEARLY as pretentious as I thought it would be. I almost felt as though we fit in.....except I'm in my 30s and most people there were in their 70s. The restaurant itself is nice, it's stylish but not over the top. It wasn't super duper busy which was nice on a Sunday at 10:30am. We sat inside but there's a nice outside patio area as well. Maybe I'll try that next time we come. My only minor complaint which is super insignificant and more related to my heels and my pregnancy (I've been a bit more unsteady on my feet lately) is that the bathrooms are a bit of a walk through the lounge from the restaurant. But, there's some cool artwork on the wall so that made it a little less bad AND the floor length girl's bathroom mirror was oddly slimming so I spent some time feeling skinny before I left to go finish eating. So the food - my mom and I split French toast and each got sides of grits. I also got eggs and fruit (trying for a well balanced meal). Everything was great. The vanilla bean whipped cream on the local bread French toast was delicious and they gave us a little jar of real maple syrup, nice touch. The grits were delicious. I like, but don't love grits that aren't Gouda grits, these were great on their own and I would currently like to eat more of them. My cousin got The Hamlet which is an omelet with ham (haha) and she really enjoyed it. BF got the Brunch Burger with cheesy truffle fries. He said the burger was delicious and those fries were freaking good - they were thinish cut with the right amount of truffle and cheese....yum. Grandpa got the eggs/meat/toast breakfast plate with a brûléed grapefruit...he's 92 so he didn't really comment on his meal. We ordered butterscotch pudding and creme brûlée for dessert and both were delicious. Our server was strange. Not bad, just strange. He was present the right amount of time and left us alone the right amount of time. That's about all I've got to say about him. All in all, I'm not sure at all why I never came here to eat brunch. Pricing was comparable to other brunches around town ($12-14 for brunch entrees) and it was delicious. I'll be back. read more

Food was ok, service was so slow. Seemed short staffed, waiter Justin was nice but bartender didn't even say hi or acknowledge us sitting at the bar. All we heard was him complaining to the manager about everything. You can still be nice and people will understand, but to completely ignore you, we won't make another trip back. read more

I recommend passing on this restaurant until they return to a full menu with such things as appetizers and bread and a more robust menu.

Very pleasant outdoor experience despite the rain. Covered patio keeps you dry. Our guests had the blue cheese and jam crusted filet (very good), airline chicken (a little dry), salmon and grilled veal chop (very tasty). Services was excellent- very personable and professional staff. Many, many restaurants in this area so the choices abound. With changeable weather often the case, knowing you can complete your meal outdoors without having to worry about the weather was a big plus for us as well. read more

We arrived at 8:35pm and seated promptly outside. We were then ignored for 20mins. Several servers passed us. Not one among them stopped , offered us water or even smiled in our direction. My best guess was there was a break down in who was supposed to get the table. The hurried-ness and palpable stress on the wait staffs faces were apparent. The staff was busting their ass fast walking from kitchen to table with checks and food. The message was crystal clear. " there is too much stuff going on here and not enough people to do it" So we walked out and went to Luma Park- check out my 5 star review for them. read more

My daughter's and I were staying overnight at The Alfond Inn, to shop for a wedding dress. We dined at Hamilton's Kitchen for dinner. The staff was very kind, and the food was delicious. What was amazing was the fact that one of my daughter's dishes was slightly under cooked. The Waitress immediately removes the cost from the bill and Chef Steven came over to the table and apologized. The following morning we came back to the restaurant for breakfast. We were not seated more than 5 minutes when Chef Steven sent over for each of us wild mushroom ravioli with pesto sauce. It literally melted in our mouth's. Chef Steven made this dining experience memorable, and we will definitely return!! read more

Hamilton's Kitchen provides an absolutely unforgettable dining experience. I honestly can't say enough about the FOOD! It's clear the the head chef is at the top of his craft - the dishes we tried were savory and cooked to perfection. I'm not one to normally notice the small things, but there's something special about the level of detail and care that was put into creating the menu and in preparing our meals. I never leave reviews, but I just had to pop on here to say that this restaurant exceeded my expectations and we are already planning our next night to come back! read more

Hamilton's kitchen has friendly staff and great food, I would have no problem returning for another meal.

We reached, right near closing time but, we were accommodated. They bought our food quickly! It was perfect, presentation plus flavor! The basil gimlet was refreshing! read more

We live across the Courtyard in the Residences condos. We got a voucher for 2 free drinks due to the inconvenience of the new construction of the Alfond Inn. We didn't plan to use it but after dinner at another restaurant last Sunday we decided to pop into the bar for a drink since Monday was a holiday. After sitting down for about 10 minutes we finally got a bartender asking us what we want. I asked for a Mojito and she said "I don't have lime", then I asked for a margarita she respond " I just told you I don't have lime". The waitress was very unfriendly and acted like we were an inconvenience to her. Well we finally settled for an old fashion and another cocktail. Then she came by and said to us "last call" with such an attitude. We then felt a bit uncomfortable so we put $20 plus the free voucher on the table. She came and snatched the $20 and told us the voucher does not apply bc we have a cocktails not a alcohol beverage as described in the voucher (?) We paid for the drinks and she never gave us back the $20 we put on the table. Well, this is a high end bar at a prestige neighborhood but we feel like the service is below our expectations. We are disappointed and will not visit again even though we are only few steps away. read more

Okay it was a classy nice place. With a guitar player to help me wait out the 25 minute wait for a walk in lunch. First thing happened was my soda tasted like chemicals and I had to return it. I ordered the shrimp and grits which would have been good except I thought it had rocks in it, which upon further examination turned out to be the bacon crisps...hard crisps. We ordered the cheesy fries which I thought would be melted cheese. Maybe I didn't read the menu but, just for your information, means grated Parmesan cheese, occasional truffle taste, on nicely cooked french fries. My dining companion got a grilled cheese sandwich which was delicious, but the crust was hard and near inedible, with some tomato basil soup, which meant tomato soup with a basil oil on it, not fresh basil. I thought it was overpriced and underwhelming except for ambience. Sorry I did forget to take pictures as I was starving. read more

If you plan on having a reservation be prepared to wait 15 plus minutes even with a reservation. We eventually left without dining. I've never ever gone to a restaurant and had to wait with a reservation. The reservation was booked to avoid being around too many people during the pandemic. We were told we could wait in the bar. After more than 15 minutes we left. Completely ridiculous. When I called to complain after we left, the manager Reggie was extremely apologetic and gave us bottomless mimosas for the next time we visit. It will be a long time before I try this restaurant again (if at all). read more

We came here specifically for our Anniversary. We called in advance to do the chef's table per their website and when we received our confirmation it stated it on there. When we arrived to the restaurant we were told that we could not do the chef's table that we had to call in advance. We informed them that we did and the manager blamed us as if we should have known we had to talk to the chef personally to set up the dinning experience and not just call the restaurant as the website stated. In the end, we saved because the food was mediocre at best and would have not been worth the price of the chef's table. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

We've eaten here three times, twice for brunch once for dinner, and have enjoyed each experience. The food is delicious. Brunch is my favorite because of the Eggs Benedict. Service has been traditionally slower but not awful. The hotel grounds/atmosphere are pleasant and relaxing. During cooler seasons we eat outside. read more

Wonderful night out. Great ambience, delicious food, and friendly staff. The shrimp and scallop risotto and the halibut are a must. Tuna tar tar was very fresh and a good share item to start. They also have a very good wine menu. read more

I wanted to try something new with my 8 year old. So I bought a groupon for Hamilton's Kitchen. I didn't know what to expect. We had never been there before but it sounded really good. We got there shortly before our reservation and everyone was very nice in the hotel. We were promptly seated and our waiter Eduardo was there to help. He was very kind. My son ordered a Belgian waffle with fruit and he wanted a side of french fries. I started off with the daily scratch soup, which was a delicious crab soup. Then I had the Brunch Burger. "BRUNCH BURGER Creekstone all-natural beef, pecan smoked bacon jam, Lake Meadows sunny side egg, avocado, white cheddar, choice of side." The burger was great. Everything was very generous portions. I had to take half the burger home because I was so full from the soup. It was such a beautiful location and very peaceful. If you enjoy adult beverages they also have a nice bar just outside the restaurant that is very tranquil. Overall great place great location and a short walk from SUNRAIL. read more

The ambiance is beautiful. But that's where the positives end. The service was below average - never even came to top our waters off. The food (French toast, pastry basket) was also subpar. For the price you pay, you'd expect better than this. Disappointed. read more

Always a good! The avocado toast is my fave. They have really good waffles and French toast. The coffee is surprisingly really good too. You can't buy it anywhere . The service was excellent. It was hot because the A/C went out on Sunday so I could tell the waiter was a hit frustrated running around. We gave him the benefit of the doubt and enjoyed our meal. He was very accommodating. read more

Best Magical Dinning experience this year. My wife and I went here for our first time and it was delicious. For this we did a mix and match of the meals with wine pairing. The meals were simply fresh and modern twist pair with great customer service. Overall, I recommend this to anyone to try with Magical Dinning you won't be disappointed. read more

Three times I've been to Hamilton's Kitchen now, and not once have I had a bad experience. My first outing was with the man for Visit Orlando's Magical Dining. Magical Dining provides a great opportunity to try out many amazing restaurants in the area, so we jumped on the change to check out this lovely little eatery located in the Alfond Inn. And we were not disappointed. We each enjoyed and absolutely amazing three-course meal. And the service was incredible. Round two we embarked with a double date with a few friends - once again for a dinner outing. Again we were impressed with the level of service and the high quality of the food. Our most latest venture to Hamilton's Kitchen was during a recent outing to The Alfond Inn. We stayed there over my birthday weekend (The experience was amazing. See my Alfond Inn review for deets.) and stuck around for brunch in the morning. True to form, the restaurant was just as awesome for brunch. Once again, amazing amazing food. And, of course, mimosas. Because what is brunch without mimosas? Hamilton's gives several options for upgrading your mimosa. I added elderflower liqueur to mine. And oh my goodness if it wasn't the best mimosa I've ever had. No joke. Bottom line: Whatever meal you decide to drop by Hamilton's Kitchen to enjoy, you're in for a real treat. read more

Went here for Magical dining, the seating and atmosphere are all really nice. The food was just so so. The magical dining menu was $33 but the waiter was trying to upsell us a similar tasting menu which had an extra course and some of the same items but it was $45 if I recall correctly. The only problem was everyone at the table has to order it. There were 7 of us so that wasn't an option. The waiter suggested that women would like a certain cocktail with cucumber and men would like a different one called the MBA. I think some in the party were off put by this gender based recommendation. I don't know much about cocktails but it did seem a little biased. I started with the pumpkin soup, it was the tastiest thing I had, it was very good but not great. Next was the steak "culotte", to my surprise this has nothing to do with those clam digger type dress/shorts some women wore back in more prurient times. The waiter said it was a sirloin steak and the chef suggests cooking it medium rare. That should have been a red flag to me right there. The steak was a little tough, not a ton of flavor. Wasn't awful but not pleasing either, the corn and mashed potato puree it was served on is all that saved the dish Finally had the bread pudding for dessert, kinda bland, but adequate. I just prefer stronger flavors. One of my dining companions said the chocolate cake was bland as well. The lobby of the hotel is really pleasant, lots of comfy beautiful furniture and interesting modern art. They have an elegant grand piano but it's locked down so no one can play it. The outside seating areas and garden seem very nice. read more

My boyfriend and I came here with a Groupon for breakfast. We started off with the fried green tomatoes which were pretty good. I had the farmhouse platter. The potatoes were seasoned very well and overall I really liked it. My boyfriend got the Belgian waffle and it was delicious. The flavor and fluffiness were perfect and the whipped cream and fruit complimented it nicely. This is one of my new favorite places for breakfast and I definitely recommend it. The place had a nice feel to it and our server was great as well. read more

"Local Gem" I found out about Hamilton's Kitchen from a former colleague; we meet for lunch about once every three or four months. He also suggested TravelZoo, as they had a half-price offer for the restaurant. I bought the $59 voucher, on TravelZoo; and, made reservations months later. I'd been sitting on the thing for months; and, almost missed the expiration date! We had a hard time finding the place, which is on New York, east of Park Avenue. We found parking on the street, as it was a Tuesday evening; and, Park Avenue wasn't as crowded as it would be on the weekend. Trying to get to the restaurant, we walked around back; and, have to wind our way around outdoor seating; for future reference, it's much easier to just "cut through" the lobby; and, turn right. We were greeted by the hostess, who directed us to our table. Another table, with two women were similarly seated; but, no one made an effort to help the woman with her chair (they are quite heavy; and, she was pregnant.) Once seated, we were provided with water; and bread sticks, along with a pimento cheese spread accompanying the bread. We were greeted by Pietro, who was thrilled to see the TravelZoo voucher; and, he explained how it worked; and, if we wanted options that were more expensive than those included, we would simply pay the difference. To that end, my wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which was a $6 upgrade; and, I ordered the half-rack of lamb. To go with it, I selected a Reisling Kabinett for my wife; and, ordered a Rose for myself. But, I am getting ahead of myself. For starters, we ordered the Twice-smoked Fish Dip, which cam out in a large mason jar, filled with smoke. Pietro opened it; and, we oohed and aahed at the puffs of smoke coming out. The fish dip was quite mild, served with excellently prepared crostinis. It was a substantial appetizer; but, we were hungry for dinner. My lamb was closer to rare than I would have liked; but, was delicious. It was coated with a nice spice rub, served with a few drizzles of mint sauce; and, accompanied by carrots two ways (boiled and puree); and, duck fat fried potatoes. Everything was delicious; and, I couldn't stop until everything was gone. My wife's fish was exceptional, rivaling the fish at Eddi V's and The Lake House, where my wife also had the Sea Bass. All-in, we had a wonderful time; and, are already planning a return visit, without the TravelZoo restrictions. The tip was 25% for exceptional service; and, the price could not be beat! The TravelZoo special ends in two weeks, so hurry if you want to try a local gem for a great price! read more

Superb breakfast options and somewhat wonderfully prepared. The Eggs Benedict was missing the unique sauce, other than that it was very good. read more

Wonderful food and impeccable service! Pietro was out server and he was so inviting, patient, and attentive. He recommended the Caesar salad and cheese board to start for our table of 6. We also decided to add the flatbread to our choice of starters. All 3 were delicious! My favorite was the cheese board followed by the caesar salad. The Caesar salad had just the right amount of dressing and anchovie taste. For my entree, I ordered the salmon. It was not my favorite dish of the table, but the presentation was beautiful and it was a generous portion. My favorite entree I tried was the pork chop - a large serving of meat, tasty and creamy grits, and a healthy heaping portion of collards. We took our time visiting and eating (over 2 hours) and never felt rushed by any of the waiters or Pietro. Will definitely be back for another evening of great service and food! read more

The quick and dirty: the food was lovely with modest to generous portions depending on the dish and laced with pleasing flavor profiles with the cobia entree stealing the show. The service was awkward and while not rude, certainly not welcoming. I would go back for more of the fabulous fish though! (4 stars for the food, if I cared about service it would get 3 but I'm a foodie first, snob second.) The full story: My boyfriend and I visited Hamilton's Kitchen for the first time on Friday, 09/20/13. The entrance to the restaurant walks the patron though the Alfond Inn lobby and courtyard area which are a mix of modern and classic; very welcoming and fresh. We arrived a few minutes early for our 8:15pm reservation and were told we had to wait, which is 100% fine, since we were the early (hungry) birdies. We explored the lobby and garden/courtyard, were offered drinks by a sweet hostess but weren't seated until nearly 8:30pm because the place was bumping! Several large parties got seated right before us but thankfully a food runner dropped off water as soon as we were seated (fine dining or no, I drink water like a dying man in a desert!). The dining room is large, lovely and dimly lit, with an open kitchen that is enjoyable to watch. It is quite loud inside however, so if you are interested in an intimate location ask to be seated on the patio, it's quieter, calm and just as lovely. Our server was frazzled and was noticeably cool once he realized that not only were we not ordering drinks, we also were using the Magical Dining fixed price menu. I used to be a server, I understand the stereotyping, but still.....he quickly took our orders mumbling something about wanting to get us in the kitchen before the large party, which I really appreciated....but then he said something to the affect of "still giving us the full Hamilton's experience"....what? Like I'm a second class diner because I'm taking advantage of Magical Dining? Weird. I'm tired of writing about the server, he had odd comments all night and wasn't very attentive...but honestly I don't care about service (I just wanted to share so my fellow frugal foodies can gird their loins before making reservations) So, let's talk about food: We both ordered the shrimp and grits as our starter. It is a generous portion with 5 large shrimp in a tomato and onion broth, over classic grits and topped with spinach. Very comforting and I liked how the spinach gave a touch of brightness, to cut the natural salty nature of shrimp and grits. For our entrees I had the pork belly with steamed clams, roasted potatoes and bitter greens. While the first bite didn't make me fall head over heels in love, I really ended up enjoying this dish (to be honest, I've had life changing pork belly and I'm kinda, sorta always chasing that meal again...sorry Hamilton, I was a biased patron on this one!). What ended up making me happily devour this dish down to the last drop of salty, piggy broth (yes, I just used piggy as an adjective....Ruth Reichl would be so proud! ha) was the balance of the umami belly with the bright pop of the kale greens. This southern gal honestly just wants to go back and have a huge bowl of just the kale and broth with a side of bread for dipping. Yes, the potatoes and clams were a nice addition, but had no lasting effect on my impression of the meal as I write this just two days later. The cobia cooked in a cast iron skillet (so says the menu, they didn't serve it in a skillet, thank god. I'm a good southern gal, as I said above, but I prefer my food to come out on a plate, not a kitschy mini skillet) with seasonal veggies over polenta that my bf ordered gave me a touch of order envy. Thankfully he's good at sharing because every bite I had of the delicious white fish made me want to beg for another. The rather generous fillet was perfectly cooked with a light salt crust and was silky, perfectly moist on the inside. Melt in your mouth heaven, in fact. The vegetable selection was interesting with thin, flash sauteed beets and sweet potato (which was pretty much raw...fun but not my favorite accompaniment) and quartered chayote squash, I think. I didn't personally taste the polenta, but Alex' plate was clean down to the china, so I think it was good! Maybe it was because we were still in awe of the fish, but neither my bourbon caramel sundae or Alex's pecan pie are anything to write home about, so I won't. (if you are dying in suspense, just lots of whipped cream and over sweetness on both plates). One final food detail: When we finally received our bread service (after the starters had arrived, fyi) the rolls were glorified Hawaiian King's Rolls and the famed bacon butter was underwhelming. Aka, don't get too excited...cause I was, but now I'm not. So, would I go back? Totally. For the fish. Always for the fish. And maybe a bowl kale. Thanks for a fun night out Hamilton's...I wish you well as you spread your restaurant wings. read more

A-OK. I was excited to dine here for an engagement dinner after seeing some promising Yelp reviews; however, it was after the fact that I realized that a good portion of the reviews were for their brunch. Perhaps it was because we came with a large party, but the entrees that my wife and I ordered were lukewarm when they came out. Both the filet mignon and faroe island salmon were decent, but not anything I am dying to have again. The best part of the meal for me was the cocktail, the MBA. For the price, I expected a little better. read more

So far I have only been to Hamilton's Kitchen for brunch and I'm looking forward to visiting for a special occasion for dinner. The restaurant has a wonderful open atmosphere and manages to be a more soothing experience than you might experience in other upscale restaurants. On our first visit, I had the Local Rock Shrimp & Grits which I can only describe as heaven -- and I've sampled a lot of shrimp and grits dishes. The second visit I made myself try something different (because I REALLY wanted the shrimp and grits again!) so I got The Hamlet which was tasty. You won't believe this, but a can't miss item on the brunch menu falls under "Snacks": deviled eggs. Trust me on that one. Allow some time to wander around the hotel afterwards to take in their exquisite collection of contemporary art; the collection is an off-shoot of Rollins College's Cornell Fine Arts Museum. read more

My wife and I had Sunday Brunch at Hamilton's, the signature restaurant at our hotel, The Alfond adjacent to Rollins College, just a few blocks from Park Ave. This restaurant is the "real deal" and the service was 1st rate and quick. I had Shrimp and Grits, one of my favorites. I'll have to say, this is the best I've ever had. The grits were creamy and full of flavor and the shrimp was cooked perfectly, not chewy. My wife had the Egg White Frittata. It was infused with fresh herbs and a real delight. The setting was also very beautiful. We chose to sit outside, since it wasn't too hot at that time. The outside dining overlooks a garden area shared by a condominium building adjacent to the restaurant/hotel. We will come back for dinner some time. read more

A fantastic dining experience inside a lovely boutique hotel. The service was exceptional, and the food was very tasty.
